And have no reproaches – I'm just saying that we are where we are. And we are at war with the ‘russkies’. This is a fact, this is the most challenging enemy of this century… That's why we need to prepare for any decision. We want a just end to the war. I am sure that a quick end to the war implies losses for Ukraine. Maybe we don't know or don't see something – it may be the case. It takes a little time," he said.
